1) Koaki Meiru War Arms Special Summons A Level 3 Or Lower Warrior Type Monster (From The Graveyard) And Equips It To Himself. (He Also Gains Half Of The Equipped Monster's Attack But That Is Irrelevant.)

2) Say Neo-Spacian Aqua Dolphin Is Special Summoned This Way And Equipped To KM War Arms. He Is Placed On The Spell/Trap Card Zone.

3) KM War Arms Does NOT Say That The Equipped Monster Is Treated As An Equip Spell Card Even Though This Is Usually The Case.

4) On Elemental Hero Aqua Neos, It Says "This Card Can Only Be Special Summoned By Returning The Above Cards From Your Side Of The Field To The Deck." The Cards Required Are "Elemental Hero Neos" and "Neo-Spacian Aqua Dolphin". No Where Does It Say That The Cards Must Be Monsters.

5) Can Neo Spacian Aqua Dolphin Be Returned To The Deck (Along With "E-Hero Neos") For The Contact Fusion For E-hero Aqua Neos, Even Though Neo-Spacian Aqua Dolphin Is In The Spell/Trap Card Zone?

Incorrect by saying "usually", as it is always the case when a monster is equipped to another one.

And a Spell Card cannot be a Fusion Material monster.

Well, it's no question that it is treated as an equip card (even though it does not say).

Who ever mentioned "fusion" summoning? E-hero Aqua Neos is "special summoned" from the extra deck by return the right cards from the field to the deck. The cards are not treated as fusion material monsters. The summoning of E-hero Aqua Neos is not a fusion summon, even though the card itself is a fusion, it counts as a special summon from the extra/fusion deck.

While speaking purely based on text, you should be able to return one of the cards for a Neos Fusion to the deck regardless of whether or not it is a monster, I also think that there would be a specific ruling stating that this could be done if it were the case.

The Neos Fusions don't have the ruling that Chimeratech Fortress Dragon does.

while I know not know of any such specific ruling, according to the card text...it should be possible. i am not familiar with chimera tech fortress dragon as I do not run him.

There is an OCG ruling under XYZ Dragon Cannon explaining that if you control X and Y, and Z is equipped to X, you can Remove all 3 from Play to Summon the Fusion. This should be the same.

I didn't mention Fusion Summoning either. I said Fusion Material monster. Monsters like "XYZ-Dragon Cannon", Gladiator Beast Fusions and Neos Fusions still have Fusion Material monsters even though they are not Fusion Summoned.

the card (E-hero Aqua Neos) only says you must return the "cards" you control from the field to the deck. It doesn't even say YOUR deck. So if you take control of your opponent's monster and it just so happens to be the right card, you could return your Neos, per say, to your deck and his monster, grandmole for example, to his deck and still get the fusion guy (E-hero Grand Neos) out of the extra deck.

if this is true, then all that is needed from the special summon monster from the extra deck are the "cards" listed as "fusion material monsters" (although we know this has nothing to do with fusion summoning). it does not say that the "cards" listed as fusion material monsters must be "monsters". further more, i want to see the ruling that says a spell or trap card cannot be a fusion material monster.

as to whether or not the returned cards are treated as fusion material monsters, i do not know.

The OCG just refers to them as "Fusion Materials", with "monsters" added where necessary.

The monsters used to Summon "Chimeratech Fortress Dragon" are treated as Fusion Materials, so the cards used to Summon the "Neos" fusions should be treated as Fusion Materials.

I'm not disputing this at all. I was wrong in my first post according to the OCG rulings (though it's a ruling I wouldn't agree with if it were up to me). I'm merely defending the fact that I never said these types of Special Summons were Fusion Summons, which you implied I did.

this topic is quite confusing. hmm, fusion material monsters huh? i'll leave it up to the rule book to decided if they are or aren't. such matters are not important to me.

as for your "spell cards cannot be fusion material monsters", i want to see proof of that if any exists.

and if it turns out that contact fusion CAN be conducted in such a way, then it would be more accurate to call them "fusion material cards" <_<

1. What else would they be? Monsters listed in the first line of any Fusion Monster's text are called Fusion Material monsters, no exceptions.

2. Did you not read my last post? I said I was wrong about not able to use Fusion Material monster being treated as Spell Cards for "contact"-like Special Summons. Why would I bother presenting you any proof?

also im still confused as to everything in this thread, wants definite answer...

Well, apparently, there's a ruling in the OCG saying that when you Special Summon a Fusion Monster from the Extra Deck that does not need to/cannot be Fusion Summoned, such as "Elemental Hero Air Neos", "Gladiator Beast Gyzarus", "Armityle the Chaos Phantom" and "XYZ-Dragon Cannon", you can still do so if any of the Fusion Material monsters are currently being treated as Spell Cards, such as by Union equipment or the effect of "Relinquished", etc.

This is similar to how a "Dark Magic Attack" can be activated if you have your opponent's "Dark Magician" equipped to your "Relinquished" as a Spell Card.

However, when performing an actual Fusion Summon (using "Polymerization", "Dragon's Mirror", etc.), the Fusion Material monsters still need to be monsters.
